Well, this can be solved very easily. For starters ask yourself what games you want to play. Then buy whatever system those games currently exist on. Also Playstation 3 isn't coming out for a while. Plus the launch titles this up coming generation seem to be not as enticing as previous console generations. Plus, the PS3 might not come out until 2007.

I'd pick up a PS2 or Xbox now. Not only can you get one of these consoles for almost a 4th of the cost of next gen consoles, but the games are really cheap. Most can be found for 20 bucks or less.

TheOneFreeman, do you live in the United States? Also I noticed in your profile says you are on dialup?

This info would help in giving more advice on your purchase. As well as what games too look into.

I would suggest a PS2 or and XBOX to you and anyone who doesnt already have both of them before you buy a next-gen system.

You should choose: XBOX or PS2

Then take whatever leftover money you have and go to gamestop. Go to the "Used under 9.99" section and have fun. There are alot of good games for both systems that can be had for under 10 bucks.

as for which to get on PS2 or xbox... both systems each have their own good..

xbox might be a little better. it depends on which games you want to play

I guess the only reason i want the ps3 is for unreal tournament 2007 and killzone and because ive never had a system near launch and having almost 450 dollars by april is enticing just waiting. Also is there a way to hook up a sattelite connection to a console.

I'll have my PC for UT2k7 <_<

Edit: As for the satellite connection, what kind of cable do you plug into your computer to go online? If it's a standard ethernet cable (or even a phone line cable), then you can use that on consoles just fine.

By the way could a BFG 6200 OC AGP 256 MB video card and a AMD Athlon 2200+ processor run UT2K7

Who knows at this point. My gut instinct is yes, but not very well. That CPU is bottlenecking the graphics card.

I'd wait to upgrade once we know more concrete information about when Unreal Tournament 2007 will be released. I have heard rumors of a Q1/Q2 2006 release near the launch of Gears of War for the Xbox 360.

Well, that video card is nothing special either. I would save your pennies for the GeForce 7700 if you want a graphics card that will run Unreal Tournament 2007 well.
